Brown made dedicated efforts at promotion—an advertising broadside and an arrangement for choir that he placed with a Boston distributor—but only one performance is known and there were no other notices in the press."},{"label":"Historical Note","value":["The back cover of the second edition reprints an October 16 newspaper article asserting that Brown’s song will be used as the finale for an army-camp minstrel show, but no other performances have been discovered, nor any recordings or piano rolls.","This is the first of two editions; the second is an arrangement for choir. Brown copyrighted a six-page manuscript copy on August 17, 1918, that included a full ink, typescript, colored pencil drawing of the cover; at the bottom is typed “Words, music, cover design and arrangement by Harry L. Brown, Laconia, N. H.” The manuscript is musically identical to the first edition, but the final lyric line of the refrain is “Oh God she is trusting in Thee.”","The dates overlaid on the stars on the cover link World War I with four previous American wars. ","The composer’s name is absent from the cover; it is given on p. 2 as Harry L. Brown. The cover is unsigned, but the manuscript deposit confirms that it was designed by Brown. White-Smith is implied to be the printer on Brown’s advertising broadside."]},{"label":"Musical Note","value":"A waltz song with a rather simple, repetitive melody but with several somewhat unusual chromatic inflections."},{"label":"Dedication","value":"Dedication"},{"label":"Subject - Topic","value":["World War, 1914-1918","Songs and music","Popular music","Patriotic music"]},{"label":"Subject - Geographic","value":"United States"},{"label":"Subject - Temporal","value":"1911-1920"},{"label":"Lyrics","value":["[verse 1] What Nation stands with outstretched hand, / For peace and justice in ev'ry land, / That's slow to anger and suffers long, / Before it says \"stop\" to a hated wrong?","[refrain 1] America!
